Knytt Stories is really quite, um, neat.

Wow, how astonishing that Command and Conquer's been released as freeware! I remember getting it for Christmas one year back in the 1990's. I didn't think I was old enough to feel this much nostalgia!

Great post!

The hilarious thing is that I spent about an hour last night digging through kotaku posts to find a link to that freeware thread. Wish I'd known what you were planning, pancreas -- it would have saved me some work!

Think I'll give this 'fraxy' a try ...

Well, there goes any chance of productivity at work today.

Look, it's Portal: The Flash Version!

I tried Fraxy about a year ago - it was great fun, but buggy, and the editor barely worked for me. But I guess that's a strength of such games - labors of love like this are never finished, and a quick poke through it shows that the majority of issues with it have been resolved.

Will any of these games work under linux?

Surely you're far to busy patching your kernel or something to be worried about that...

Can't wait to try some of these out at home. Thanks, pancreas!

I check TIG Source and IndyGamer (RIP, now Indiegames.com) almost every day, but I missed this. Thanks.

Site seems to be down at the moment. Bummer.

Still down. I remember a handful of the titles I read, but I was really hoping to check out the rest. Grrr.

Toribash is the strangest, most compelling game i've come across in ages. thanks.

no seriously. it's like starcraft, but for judo instead of space alien warfare.

Flash Portal is badass.

Hey it's back. Synaesthete & Battleships Forever are pretty neat. Synaesthete, as far as I can tell, doesn't penalize you (aside from docking your score) for button mashing, so it's a bit lacking in the difficulty department, but I suck at rhythm games anyways so I didn't mind.
